One of the best tools out there for early stage companies
What do you like best about the product?
Lucidchart is highly flexible, robust and intuitive. I use it for a wide range of things from project planning, to mentoring.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tasks are very repetitive. I'd like to be able to set more defaults which will save me time whenever I create a new document.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem I'm solving is planning workflows and projects. A secondary benefit is using the tool to explain concepts with visuals.
Simple, Neat and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Lucidchart is that it's easy to use. The first timers can easily browse through its features without going through any tutorial videos and that has been my best experience. Having come from non-business background, I found it incredibly easy to look up the features and desired diagrams myself. Apart from that, Lucidchart has got amazing articles on the diagrams from where one can learn and grow!
What do you dislike about the product?
There should be more templates available for wireframe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm an aspiring Business Analyst who is learning wireframing, UML and BPMN from Lucidchart. I find it incredibly easy to use. Besides that the diagrams look neat, tidy and readable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Lucidchart to everyone especially those who like me are exploring an easy effective tool to make wireframes and UML.
Simplicity itself
What do you like best about the product?
The package is simplicity itself whether you wish to create a business process or a simple concept map. There are hundreds of templates with almost every known symbol or icon. This gives the user complete control over the package. I have never worked with a package such as this giving you the user complete control almost as soon as you log in for the first time.
What do you dislike about the product?
As yet I cannot pinpoint anything that I dislike, maybe I just have not found it yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I started to use Lucid chart when I was in business. I moved away from Visio as I found it far too complicated for what I needed. I was working for Shell Exploration and Production in many places around the world. I would create Business Process documentation for the various Operating companies around the world. My library was large and every Opco would have something just a little different from the last. With Lucid Chart I was able to update or create new documents almost at the drop of the hat, fast and simple. Now I am in Education as a teacher and I provide my students with concept maps for English Language Learning, whether it be for Speaking, Listening, Reading or Writing.
Director of Enterprise Projects
What do you like best about the product?
Easiest product I have used in a long time. The drag and drop feature and ability to import previous charts and graphs makes it easier to "steal" from past projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a better way to "filter" charts and graphs I use most. I want the most commonly used items available at my fingertips.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualization helps tells a story for a process.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say, try it. It's reasonably priced and your ROI is instant.
Very good
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use of the tool, features advanced yet easy to use features
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing to declare, I liked the whole tool and its practicality, it could only be cheaper
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
optimizes time and resources, sharing ideas, people thinking together
Intuitive Teaming Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly useful for teaming and collaboration especially during these times where everyone is remote. My team has the opportunity to work individually on the same board, but have visibility into each other's work for inspiration or feedback. Also the MiniMap is aweseome.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd love to see more of LucidChart tools connected or available within LucidSpark. It may be just unique to my team, but we are constantly diagraming and process mapping and it'd be nice to be able to either merge the two systems or call in a document from LucidChart onto a LucidSpark board.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As everyone is remote, we're solving the inherent benefit being in-person gives: teaming and collaboration for brainstorming and working together. It's really nice to see, real-time what people are working on and how they're thinking/approaching business problems. As someone new to the team/business, it's also a great way to get to know my team members; understanding how they approach problems, organize thoughts, etc. is crucial to a growing relationship.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Also get LucidChart! LucidChart is the best and having the two systems is incredible.
Outstanding Collaboration Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use is critical at this time and having team members say this is one of the easiest tools to use is encouraging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike...keep up the good work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team collaboration in a distributed socially distant environment is important and this tool is the best.
The best team tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to share with my work team a billboard where we can all express our ideas and always get the best from there.
The collaboration that takes place between the members of the team is a collaboration well done, where everyone's word has a place to be expressed.
It allows you to act while your ideas are fresh, not at the time of a meeting that can be delayed, it does not give you time to lose ideas.
It is a secure platform for the company and has a lot of templates ready to integrate into work in no time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Almost nothing displeases me, for now it is one of the best applications that I have known this year that allow me to improve the group work of my team.
Maybe you could add a calendar so you could better organize the dates of the deliveries, but to put together the main ideas is the best tool.
The quality of the diagrams is sometimes not the best when you want to extract it and pass it to a presentation, it is something that would surely improve.
A capacity that I would like to incorporate, which is one of the things that I use the most would be to be able to develop flow diagrams that allow me to develop instructions to then carry out those projects that are carried out on the platform.
Perhaps what the platform needs are a few small improvements to make it truly complete, but the functions it currently has work wonderfully.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating diagrams - being able to visually display ideas
Spark Realtime Collaboration
What do you like best about the product?
Lucid spark helps in getting Realtime collaboration between team members. With a majority of working remote it has become more important. It helps to quickly brainstorm an idea together with the help of flowchart and also allowing for comments.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be made more intuitive with keyboard shortcuts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Architecture Design brainstorming , Data Flow ,Realtime meeting idea collaboration.
Great for brainstorming and team collaboration.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy that you get to collaborate on charts. Most times when designing processes, it has to be reviewed by multiple people to it's really helpful for people to be able to see your process chart, make comments on it and suggest changes, even make changes themselves within Lucidspark. It's also exciting that there are so many different features and integrations that I have yet to use but will also keep me engaged. I'm following Lucid spark really closely to see what other genius ideas they come up with.
What do you dislike about the product?
The template variety is not too extensive. I would appreciate if community users could make suggestions for what they would like to see in the templates according to the type of industry they are currently in. I know that templates should be broad to fit a wider variety of use but I also think that if you can filter by industry people can a lot more use for all Lucidspark has to offer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm having difficulty finding specialized templates. Its been a great tool to explain processes to the team. The preexisting templates are great for coming up with ideas on how to further implement Lucidspark into our various processes as well as for our user education. Also, knowing that there is a support team available to help you is a great help.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Plan your charts beforehand so you don't have to make too many changes. I find that if I am too far in a process and have to make major changes it takes a long time to rearrange the shapes into the right order. Also don't be shy to use the preexisting templates for inspiration. They are a great resource when you're out of ideas.
